That's a broke ass connecting rod!
Believe it or not, this happened to a friend of mine's dad.
We were in the 7th grade. His dad had just bought a nice, shiny, new, Hummer (original gangster one, not the pussy H2).
Had it 5,000 miles, took it to the J-team for an oil change. Who the hell knows what they were thinking, but when all was said and done, less than 1 quart of oil drained out of the pan of the freshly blown 6.1L diesel motor.
Lawsuits ensued, and the J-team had to buy the beast a new motor.
His dad promptly sold the truck, and bought a brand new 911 Turbo. That car never saw the J-team.

Have them pay for a new engine via dealership estimate and do it yourself, pocketing the extra cash. I'd threaten to report them to BBB and television also. An EJ22 doesn't blow like that very easily. That's why I've laid down on wet ice to change my oil.

It's the same reason that drive-thrus exist: Laziness.

yeah i guess your right
i bet it sounded pretty awesome when it exploded, if my motor ever catastrophically fails like that i want the piston and rod to fly the head and out the fender and the motor go up in a ball of flames
...that would atleast be badass enough to offset the loss of a motor

I saw a Volksie shoot a rod and piston down the dragstrip in 1996 at the VW Drags in Woodburn...Murphy wrote:yeah i guess your right

I've seen a V8 throw a rod through a hood once at a drag strip...or I should say I saw the hole afterwards. All I saw during the run was smoke. Kind of scary to think where the hell that piece of rod could have gone.

I recall seeing a Suby from Puerto Rico blow the head of the motor and knock a front wheel off the car.
